But we _are_ talking about Emacs.  Emacs is not driven by RFCs, and
doesn't blindly follow RFCs unless we consider that useful.

I think the fact that Emacs already takes specific programs into
consideration means that such solutions _are_ possible.  If we
conclude that doing so would be a reasonably good solution for this
problem, I don't see why we should not use that.  If such a solution
will make our users happy, why should anyone care whether it follows
some RFC or is pretty?
